Of course only certificates will identify if it is your Richard but I was not going to even type this up until I found the
dob for Richard Frederick was 1870 and
occupation gardener. Of course these facts may well be coincidental.
I also wondered about the 1916 electoral roll with Helen Allison as wife and later enrolments Helen Elsie...wonder if her name was Helen Allison Elsie
